A meeting over Chicago's brewing migrant crisis in the Brighton Park neighborhood became heated as residents protested a planned camp that can house over 2,000 migrants, according to Fox 32 Chicago. Residents of the southwest side of Chicago neighborhood were fiercely divided over the plan, with city officials confirming their plans to build a camp for migrants on a "10-acre vacant lot, located at 38th and California," per the outlet. "The City of Chicago has been identifying viable sites across the city to construct base camps as an alternative to new arrivals sleeping outdoors, at O’Hare and on the floors of police district stations as winter fast approaches,"

Let the illegals experience winter. It may change their minds about crossing the border illegally. They can always turn around and head back south a few thousand miles.

Living in a tent at 10 below zero will change most illegal migrants minds about living in "the windy city". I've done winter camping in northern Wisconsin and the only thing to do is try to stay warm. Plus, I have all that special winter clothing.

The left is giving out freebies so these illegals can gain the resources to relocate all over the country. Yes, the leftists in these cities deserve their current misery, but do the rest of US? They're coming to our states, you know that, right? The focus should be on getting these criminals out of our country. They have no skin in the game and don't deserve our forced generosity.

Wait until they load up the local public schools with illegal alien children who cannot speak or understand English pulling all the grade levels down academically, with the local residents find that 17-18 year old illegal alien females and males, because of their lack of academic abilities and achievements, have been therefore assigned to lower grades with their 13-14 year old daughters and sons. The local people in those communities who voted for Biden and the Democrats did not know that they were voting for unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to be injected into their communities. The reason that Biden and the Democrats are affectively allowing such mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into the USA is to boost up the numbers of people in the USA who can be categorized as minority group members in accordance with Democrat identity politics who the Democrats believe can be transformed into new future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead. Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats could care less about the opinions of the legal residents of impacted Chicago area communities as they figure that those legal resident’s votes are already in the leftist and socialist Democrat bag.

It's still a bit of a mystery as to how exactly newly-minted House Speaker Mike Johnson will handle the upcoming budget battles, but on Joe Biden's corruption, he's already making himself clear. While speaking to Fox News Digital, Johnson laid into the president's alleged corruption surrounding his family's influence-peddling operation, calling it an "ongoing cover-up" and directly accusing Biden of lying "repeatedly." Johnson said: We have an ongoing cover-up of the important facts as Joseph Biden is sitting in the Oval Office. We know that he stared right into the camera as the president and lied repeatedly—I mean, multiple times—

Thousands of pro-Palestine protestors have shut down part of the Brooklyn Bridge, after flooding the streets of New York alongside orthodox Jewish members. The 'Flood Brooklyn for Palestine' protest attracted thousands of protesters holding up signs reading 'Free Palestine' and 'Zionism is Terrorism'. Other placards read 'Biden is funding genocide' and 'occupation is a crime.' Amongst the protesters were members of the orthodox Jewish community who wore signs saying 'Judaism condemns the State of Israel' and 'the Zionists Ignite the Fire.' Protestors have now been captured scaling parts of the Brooklyn Bridge, waving Palestine flags

Nominated to the position by President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate in 2021, Graves is Joe Biden’s handpicked Yale Law graduate to serve as both the local and the federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital. He is in charge of prosecuting crimes from misdemeanor drug possession to murders. He also has the capacity to prosecute federal crimes, such as financial fraud and terrorism.

Thousands gathered in Istanbul on Saturday for what was touted as the “Great Palestine Meeting.” The event was a pro-Palestine rally aimed at condemning Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza, where Hamas headquarters are located. Hamas terrorists were responsible for a deadly attack that claimed the lives of 1,400 Jews in southern Israel. One must ask the question: What did people expect Israel to do in response? Not retaliate? When an entity like Hamas, designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel, engages in violent acts aimed at killing civilians, it is not only Israel’s right but also its obligation to defend its citizens.

Kevin McCarthy's ouster revolved entirely around budgetary issues, including Ukrainian war funding. In his first floor speech as presumptive House Speaker, Mike Johnson outlined his priorities: The skyrocketing cost of living is unsustainable and Americans should not have to worry about how they're going to feed their family every week because they can't afford their groceries anymore. Everybody in this room should think about this. Here's the stats: prices have increased over 17% in the last two years. Credit card interest rates are at the highest level in nearly three decades, and mortgage rates are now at a peak we haven't seen since 2001.

Archaeologists believe they are one step closer to confirming the resting place of Noah's Ark. A team excavating a geological formation in Turkey has aged rock and soil samples they believe contain ruins of the vessel, which puts the site at the same time the Bible puts the Great Flood 5,000 years ago. The project began in 2021 and is ongoing, but the initial analysis determined samples to contain clayey and marine materials and seafood. According to the researchers, these results mean human activity was present on the boat-shaped mound between 5500 and 3000 BC.

Romney is the subject of a new biography by The Atlantic's McKay Coppins entitled Romney: A Reckoning, where he gives another warning about Trumpism, after voting to convict Trump at both impeachments. The Utah senator mouthed off to Coppins about Trump and other Republican leaders, which prompted the ex-president to take to Truth Social and call Romney 'a total loser that only a mother could love,' among other insults.
